Shetland Pony Visit

Posted on October 11, 2018 by - St Columbas

Residents, families and staff enjoyed a full day visit from the Shetland ponies from Therapy Ponies Scotland.

Ponies Edwardo and Wilson spent the day with the residents, who loved every minute. The ponies are specifically trained to visit the care home environment and offer therapeutic time for the residents, which was evident from their faces at the time and testimonies afterwards. Persons with low blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases should take Tadalafil with caution and only after the consultation with the doctor. The thing is that the drug can reduce pressure. This is usually the result of an interaction of Tadalafil with the medications containing nitrates or nitrogen oxide. Therefore, you should never combine Tadalafil with medications or other products containing nitrates or nitric oxide.

The ponies were even able to visit our palliative care residents in their rooms which offered great comfort at the time.

 

 

Going for Gold

Posted on October 11, 2018 by - St Columbas

A team of residents and staff represented St Columba’s at the Going for Gold Olympics, the Care Inspectorate care about physical activity initiative, organised by Dundee Health and Social Care Partnership.

This was a themed event where residents from care homes across Dundee competed in various physical activities such as bowling. Our team chose an armed forces theme therefore dressed up in full army dress to compete. Throughout the day our residents enjoyed competing in all events and also was a great opportunity for them to socialise with residents from other homes. The resident’s stated that they had really enjoyed the day and had fun.

To top off the day, St Columba’s won an award for the most enthusiastic team, which is proudly displayed for all to see in the home, to mark their achievement.
